I bought a B-E-A-U-tiful new white MacBook with the Core 2 Duo and am about DYING waiting for it.... with Thanksgiving and all, it might not come until the 27th... but I'm sure it will be worth it.

    To anyone who has one... are they really noticeable faster than the old ones?

    Nope, I'm receiving it on the 23rd according to Apple.

    Mine should be waiting for me this weekend when I travel to my new home. Good thing I could have it shipped to NH, no sales tax!

    Yea... I got an e-mail from the shipping company today, and it says it'll be here by the 22nd. I'm very excited, because then I get to show it to my family during Thanksgiving...



    Let me know when you get yours!!

    Hey Zandros -- do you really think they'll ship it on Thanksgiving?? That seems odd....

    I have one. It's great. I can't say if it's slower or faster, since this is the first mac ive ever bought.

    Thanksgiving isn't a tradition in Sweden. In any case, the idiots at TNT succeeded at delivering my second skin today, but the MacBook that should have come with it - not a trace. I hope I get it tomorrow.

    I just got mine in today! (The 17 inch Pro.. so...)



    <-- on it now



    Besides having to filter through swarms of children in the Apple store, I finally got it. They called me today around noon letting me know.



    Now if only I could access my files they migrated over from my old one...

    I got mine today by noon too. A guy from a local store sent me an email. He said I was the very first one to buy the new 17 on that store.



    I'm absolutely amazed with this laptop... it's awesome... I also got a applecare so my new toy doesn't go dead anytime soon (after the 1st year)...

    Well, I got my MacBook today, though I had to go to the postal office to collect it myself, or I would need to have waited more for it,



    In any case, it's great, and the glossiness of the screen does not disturb at all when the backlight is at over 50%.

    I got mine too! I got it yesterday, and it's great! I still have to hook it up to the internet at our house, but it's amazing. It's SO much faster than our old Dell. I'm really glad I bought it.

    Seems like inventories are improving. Got a 17" C2D Glossy from the apple store in Braintree, MA. Loving it...

    I was suprised how much the 259 bucks got me. Processor upgrade, RAM upgrade, larger HD....



    Makes me so happy

    Upgrade on a MPB 17?



    HD and memory upgrade you could do.. but not processor... which laptop do you have?

    Are you sure it's an Apple ?

    My wife is picking up her 17 right now. She cut out of work early to get it. She went with the 200 GB HD also. It will be nice to have for turkey-day.

    I suggest using the oven to cook the turkey, but it (macbook pro) might do ok with slices, george foreman style. This model does run a bit cooler, but you'll feel the heat.

    For the turkey we use our old TI 500. No need to thaw with that one. We normally burn a quick iMovie for some of the families that travel far for the gathering. I hope this one is a lot quicker than my pb 17 1.67.
